Near the bottom left fast travel sign.
Interesting, as I remember,
that quest had two goals, speak to a hunter about bodies and / or the herbalist, as far as I can make out, you can only do one of these goals?, the herbalist one was crossed out after I'd found the Griffon nest

Yes.
That's been there for a while, at least since I first looked which was a day before launch.

hmmm I did the
hunter part
Yeh think so

I did both, had to find that stinky plant underwater near the herbalist, then go to the hunter to find the spot where the griffon killed 5 people
That's fine.
I ordered weeks before launch.
Okay, I accept blame, but I genuinely thought I was buying a Steam key. 100% of my GMG library have Steam keys attached. I thought for non Ubi, non-EA games this was the norm. I didn't even know what GOG was.

Got another 3 hours in last night. Every second was fantastic. Still haven't crashed.
I fought some drowners that were level 5, while I was 4, and they would hit me for apx. 30% of my health. Are they just really strong? Or is something wrong there? I killed them still, but it was jarring to see that much health come off that quickly.

Came across my first bug I think =/. I did everything I could on the first map except for one abandoned site. It's the one east of the abandoned village, a shrine.
I went there at different times during the day and night. I even looked up a youtube video and went to the site at the exact same time as the guy in the video but no spawns sadly.

Arrow redirection seems crazy powerful on Deathmarch, where enemy damage is drastically larger than yours. Only occasionally useful, but I'm always glad I have it when the opportunity comes up.

Fuck that shit. Really disappointing. Now, to start over or not... I've "only" played for like 4 hours yet, so I guess it wouldn't be a massive disaster, but still. Maybe I shouldn't care about this number being correct, but I like knowing how long I've spent, especially if it's a game I'm gonna spend 100 hours on.
EDIT: I did pause the game before suspending. Does it still keep ticking, or did I save myself there? If it does count even paused time as playtime I can only conclude that they didn't think that shit through at all.
Maybe you already picked up that needed plant during your travels ? I think I've read that if you find something you need for a quest without being on the quest already, it still will count as a quest item when you DO pick up that quest. (and for the one from the herbalist, you need 1 item)
plant is called Buckthorne iirc

I need that oil to kill the big bad wolf right?
Also where do I get the pass, the merchant does seem to have it anymore.

Yes, but what is bothering me is everything in the Witcher 3 is top tier except the combat, and in my opinion the combat hasn't changed or improved much since The Witcher 2 .
Agree.
Ive only played Witcher 1 and so far this is a big improvement thank god.
That said Bloodborne is on another level completely. I hope that for their next game CDPR will take notes.
I don't mean to pile on or make you feel stupid, but man, CDPR owns GOG. I'm all for consumer rights, all the way, but sometimes you do have to keep up with some news yourself and knowing that the dev/pub of a game you're buying actually owns a digital retail outlet is something you should be aware of as a customer, because of course they're going to push for that platform.
You should probably launch W2 and play it for 10 minutes. Almost everything about the combat is changed for the better (as far as I've seen, I only had time for about an hour so far).
I really don't get the Bloodborne combat vs TW3 combat comparions...
Surely you will have to adapt if you just played BB, but aren't both games focussed on other things? BB (and the Souls series) are built around the combat, they are action-RPGs which TW3 isn't?
For me it's like saying the flight controls in Battlefield suck coming from a flight sim on PC.
But ofcourse everybody is entitled to their opinions.

Quen only lasts for 1 hit not upgraded in W2 as well. Yeah Quen and Igni are becoming go tos, though I really like Axii as well, it almost guarantees a kill on who ever you cast it on because of its lengthy stun time.
I've saved up 4 ability points and I'm not sure what to spend it on. All the first abilities of everything seem really weak, with the exception of the general skills which of course can't be mutated.

I think it would've been better if they just adapted the Batman/Shadow of Mordor combat system. It feels and looks really good.
I sold the sword too
and i don't know if i already sold any other starting gear. I already bought the sword back from the vendor ^^hobblygobbly

Thanks. Yeah I only realised now I had a torch all along in my inventory, didn't bother to check since I didn't know you start with one.

Would be nice to have both
At first I really didn't like the whole movement and combat, but after 4 hours or so I got used to it and I'm pretty fine with it now. It's not great, but once you learn how Geralt moves and attacks the combat gets really tactical and quite deep.
When a storefront sells keys to various platforms, it should be made more clear what platform you're buying for, and if somehow a customer messes up and buys something they didn't think they're buying (I 100% genuinely thought I was buying a Steam key, I never expected this "GOG" crap to show up -- again, 100% of my past purchases from GMG have delivered Steam keys) they should be willing to offer refunds or at least a refund in the form of credit. What I got was just slightly more polite than "fuck off". It was a defensive response, claiming it was "made clear it was not a Steam key and I should have known better", when I don't feel it was clear at all. "Buyer beware" shouldn't be the answer a store gives to its customers, anyway. If I accidently buy the wrong thing at any real store, such as Amazon, I can exchange/refund/whatever.
I think the quest is now ''gone'' then, as you don't need it anymore since you have that plant already.

Welp, I sold mine. I did keep the blade.
I think the original merchant you sold it to still has it.

Gwent is superb. I know you get 2 decks if you buy the XB CE, but have they mentioned anything about releasing it as a physical game?
I love to be able to play it with my mates!

From what I remember GMG always states which service you'll have to redeem the game from as soon as they put it up for pre-order. I'm surprised they refused to give you a refund though, they were giving refunds to everyone yesterday. I guess it's because they already sent you the key.
Or an iPad version...
Was browsing older pages and caught this. That is completely awesome, much better system than the old game.
Crafting is nuts in this game, you can keep drilling items down until they are literally dust. Gets pretty damn pricey though, especially with repairs.

hmmm ill give that a go tonight. Thanks!
I really hope they put them up for sale - the set from the CE is amazing!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm glad the combat system isn't Souls, or Batman, or Creed, or Bayonetta, or anything else but instead its own thing. I'd rather they spend time refining what they've got than totally emulating another game.
I'm really happy with how the crafting system works, along with alchemy. Item scarcity and diversity isn't so obtuse that crafting becomes intimidating, and potion/bomb refills on meditation encourage you to craft all your potion/bomb recipes.
The menus need work though.

I am mulling over whether to move from 360 controller to KB/M. I always play third-person games with a controller but I was 'forced' to go KB/M for Lords of the Fallen because of some weird glitch where the character would stop running when changing direction. I got on really well and it was nice to have so many buttons available.
Is the character movement and camera any better with KB/M? I find the controller to be very stilted and imprecise in this game.
